Praise

A must-read for high school seniors

via Amazon –”This book is filled with practical advice for young people just starting out. It offers real talk on how to approach the future, given the changes in the economic landscape that are often ignored, even by colleges. The authors address the new kinds of jobs that are available in a heavily technological era. I especially enjoyed the sections on how to build credibility outside of academics. This is a complex subject, but it’s laid out clearly. In fact, it’s so well written that even as a 38-year-old professional already into a couple different careers, I enjoyed reading it. All along, I was wishing I’d had a book like this to read when I was considering college. It’s not that I wasn’t exposed to this kind of responsible thinking, it’s that it wasn’t presented to me in the lively and realistic way that Jelski and George present it.”
